He is not sure how much to price it. I have it in my hands right now for testing and the camera/lenses are in excellent condition. Its an all black M6 and I notice that the paint has some tiny tiny bubbles in them, but it has not peeled off or will it peel off. I think he bought this way back in 1987. Serial # are as follows: M6 body-167-9348 35/1.4 summilux m -3139663 90/2.8 tele elmarit -3068939 btw-the body says Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Gmbh (maybe this is still made in Wetzlar, not in Sohm ??) all these years of use, the frame counter seems fine, the metering is fine also and the rangefinder at infinity is ok. since I'm a first time M6 user, is the frame counter sitting @ 40 when there is no film or something like that ? when u load the film, then it starts advancing to 0 ?? (excuse my ignorance ??) anyways in a few days time I should know what "LEICA Look" is... so excited. thou I find it hard to focus and that thing is so small my hands are aching trying to grasp it. Regards Ferdinand
